Heroes limited run revival series ordered by NBC - watch preview

NBC will revive Heroes for a limited run series in 2015, it has been announced.

A teaser for Heroes Reborn premiered on Saturday (February 22) during NBC's primetime coverage of the Sochi Winter Olympic Games.

Heroes Reborn's 2015 premiere will be preceded by a digital series that will introduce new storylines and characters. It is not currently known if any original cast members will be back.

NBC entertainment president Jennifer Salke credited Heroes creator Tim Kring with having made an "enormous impact" on "the television landscape" with the original program.

"Shows with [this] kind of resonance don't come around often and we thought it was time for another installment," Salke said in a press release.

She continued: "We're thrilled that visionary creator Tim Kring was as excited about jumping back into this show as we were, and we look forward to all the new textures and layers Tim plans to add to his original concept.
